After school had finished this year, on my second to last day in Utah before moving back to Colorado, I decided to go hit up Rattlesnake out at 5 Mile Pass o…

H3 Best!
What’s up with all the negative talk about the Sequoia, saying it doesn’t
belong here? With maybe 4 sections as exceptions, the rest of it wasn’t
even worthy of being considered an off-road trail; more like unpaved roads.
It’s just amazing what passes for “serious stuff” these days. No mud,
everything is dry, the path is laid out. What else was there to do except
that at a few spots some geometry was required (and in some places they
could’ve just bypassed them). Sure, the Sequoia doesn’t have the
“credentials” of the other two, but for the sole fact of it being
considered an SUV it needed to prove at least something here. And it sure
did that respectfully. So, as far as I’m concerned, the Sequoia looked ok
in this environment even if the other 2 could potentially do more.
H3 did awesome. Not even a sweat. True to the name. I’ve owned a number of
Jeeps and now an H3. Both capable, but not even the new Jeeps have the
refinement of the Hummers. FJ pretty good as well. Sequoias do horrible off
road. Seen that first hand.
gentlemen…I got a questions and highly appreciate your answers.
I bought a 2009 FJ cruiser….there’s a button called RSCA if I’m not
mistaken…what is it for?
and how can I turn off auto head lamps…whenever I turn the car on and put
it on drive whether it was day or night…the headlamps go on automatically.
many thanks.
I really enjoyed this video one of the better offroad videos I seen here
lately
Fj is the best
WHY ISNT THE SEQ LOCEKD???
Fj were the best. too bad 2014 is their last year.
Wow I can’t believe (yes I can) that Im the first person to say that the
Sequoia does have a diff lock (center diff lock), since they are full time
4wd and need a center diff. I ran into this a lot when I was looking for
my cruiser I would ask “does it have the diff lockers” (front and rear
lockers were optional) and half the people would say “yes it does” to which
I would follow up with “is it a button or a dial, oh a button? thanks
bye.” since the button locks the center diff manually and the dial selects
the front or rear lockers. Given the mission of the Sequoia and the trail
you tried, im impressed it made it at all. Sorry for being late to the
party. I can’t wait to run this trail soon.
Sequoia for comic relief. Great vid
Put the seq. into 4wd low and shift the transmission down to low or 1st
gear. That activates the ATRAC system (similar to porche or range rover as
is senses slip and applies brakes to the tires that are slipping) then
stand back and be surprised how well the tree actually wheels.
Youre welcome.
I never see sequoias wheeling always thought they would be a good option
Hummer did everything no problem
Great videos, Hayden
the one driving the sequioa doesnt know how to 4WD, the hummer guy knows he
ahs to go smooth to avoid tire spinnin
Nice vid looks like a great place to wheel
looks fun nice video, but the sequoia needs better tires.
It’s all about having a good time.
Great video! Did y’all reduce the psi on the tires to below 20? That Helps
TONS to avoid spinning and get better crawl! Looks like the H3 is the only
one with the lockers to get full 50/50 power.
The guy in the mall crawler was wearing gloves…
Hummer wn! Yeeaah!!
would love to know how the FJ driver got the 3rd brake light to flash when
braking
Why so much hate between toyota owners and jeep owners and hummer owners,
Nissan is where it’s at ya noobs!
I’m kidding!! But really people, there is no need to say this one is better
than that one or this is more reliabile than the other, If you are
responsible off-road enthusiasts you will hook your recovery line to any
make or model to help a fellow enthusiast out of whatever they got stuck in
=) Each person out there on a trail has a reason why they bought that
specific car, Maybe the signifigant other or the kid thought it was cool
and they make the best out of it, or maybe they thought it had a better
body than *__*. There is no need to call eachother retarded or start
internet fights or attempt to justify your reasoning on why your choice is
the best choice, instead, put your pencils and tablets and keyboards away
and just go enjoy the outdoors, and to hell with makes or models or what
have you and enjoy the trail with your fellow enthusiast, even if they
drive a different model than you. Personally, I loveeee the look of a
hummer! The front end of a fj cruiser is awesome and I love the top down
ability of jeeps. But that is my, opinion. And remember everyone has a
different opinion and you have to respect that. (sometimes even if it is
wrong.)
And as a small side note, I do believe the americans sold the blueprints of
the Jeeps to the Japanese to help them make a off road vehicle because it
was cheaper to have them made there (as it was closer to the battlefields
in that era, Vietnam? I’m not sure of the theatre) and it wasn’t as they
expected, so they continued with the jeeps and kept importing them. I think.
Remember, leave the arguments behind and go find a trail!
FJ Legend.. specialist for this situation
H3 It’s really good but wear out quickly, unfortunately,
Sequoia It’s a comfortable car for family .. wasn’t made for extreme
off-road ..
need lockers & suitable tires it will be great 🙂
فاضين شغل
Tojota FJ surprised me, realy one of the best offroaders and awesome
looking! Great job guys! For me personaly very helpful video You did.
Respect from Iceland, Thanks!
Also I agree with some commentator below, as he said -“Tires, tires, tires”
Sequoias are fun to drive on the road but damn… Don’t take them off. They
are not built for that.
Which best in off road ?
1- FJ
2- H3
the sequoia is shit
That is one badass fj
As far as history and current affairs go…the Jeep beats and rules any
semblances of a “Toyota” 4X4 hands down! Oh,@‘Phoenix Conrad’…you need
spelling and grammar lessons. Your so-called cheap shot about ‘ignorant
Americans’ holds little weight considering we kicked your as# more than
once! Bring it!
The sequoia had no business being there… Comfortable SUV, but not really
meant for the extreme terrain
H3 waling like BOSS
to the white suv nice street tires idiot
i think the best off roader stock is wrangler rubicon followed by h3 and
fj,but still my favorite is the hummer h3
Guy who owns the sequoia don’t know how to drive and didn’t have his
lockers on. I have one and I blow over stuff like that.
that sequioa is trash
Hummer is the only true off roader in this vid. followed by the FJ.
I really like the look of the FJ, but I don’t care for that little second
door. Great vid though, good quality.
FG :)
